BROKEN BOW — Beavers Bend State Park is the site of one of Oklahoma’s most popular fall festivals. The Folk Festival & Craft Show kicks off Friday and runs through Sunday at the Oklahoma Forest Heritage Center.

Featuring turn-of-the-century arts and crafts, more than 70 exhibitors will be demonstrating candle making, woodturning, lye soap making, knife making, quilting and more. Herbalists will share their knowledge, instrument makers will exhibit their work and quilters will show their best.

Four of the country’s best folk musicians will be featured on an outdoor stage throughout the three-day festival. There will be free mountain dulcimer workshops offered each day. People are invited to bring their own dulcimers or try their hand on the dulcimers provided by instructors Keith and Darlene Vanderbosch.

The food at the Beavers Bend Folk Festival & Craft Show takes a sweet turn this year with favorites like kettle corn, caramel apples and funnel cakes. Back by popular demand are Indian tacos, cowboy tacos and burgers. Wash it all down with fresh apple cider or old-time root beer.

Festival hours are from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday and Saturday and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday.
